Coupled Groundwater Flow/Deformation Modelling for Predicting Land Subsidence

  • Chapter
Groundwater Management in Asian Cities

Part of the book series: cSUR-UT Series: Library for Sustainable Urban Regeneration ((LSUR,volume 2))

Abstract

Land subsidence is one of the major problems to consider in the attempt to achieve sustainable groundwater usage in urban areas, as mentioned in Chapters 3, 4 and 12. For better management of groundwater-related environments, a combination of monitoring and predictive modelling is desirable (Fig. 6.1).
